• Use the residual heat to keep the food warm
or to melt it.
The cooking zone efficiency
The cooking zone efficiency is related to the di-
ameter of the cookware. The cookware with a
smaller diameter than the minimum receives on-
ly a part of the power generated by the cooking
zone. For the minimum diameters see the Tech-
nical Information chapter.
The Examples of cooking applications
The relation between the heat setting and the
cooking zone consumption of power is not line-
ar.
When you increase the heat setting it is not
proportional to the increase of the cooking zone
consumption of power.
It means that the cooking zone with the medium
heat setting uses less than a half of its power.
The data in the table is for guidance only.
